For 2019, the top five trends in the U.S. are the following:

1. Blockchain

While there are mixed reviews on Bitcoin and its ability to become a mainstream currency, the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin holds a lot of promise. Blockchain will enable financial transactions, document authentication and copyright to become much simpler and secure after years of abuse.

3. Climate Change

4. Freelance Workforce

Some companies are becoming reluctant to hiring full-time employees for many reasons. Business models change from one day to the next, there is more cost associated with full time benefits and, frankly, many younger employees enjoy the flexibility of a project-based work schedule.

5. Live Video

Social media is leading the live, streaming video trend with popular apps like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. This live video trend is enabling everyone to feel like they are participating in whatever is happening at the moment, from big events to small business meetings. Advancements in video technology are enabling businesses to incorporate video into daily communications and realize new efficiencies.
